Problems with keyless entry and lighting on Audi Q5 (diesel, 2016) - looking for tips and workshop experience

Hi, I had a similar problem with my Audi Q7 (built in 2014). My experience with cars is rather limited as I am not a car mechanic, but I can say that I was satisfied with my garage. In my case, the cable connection to the outside door handle electronics was defective. The problem was solved by replacing the defective cable connection. The cost was 170 euros. Could you please share more information about your vehicle, e.g. whether you have already had problems with the electronics? That would help us to help you better.

(Translated from German)

Hey, thanks for your reply. I haven't had any major problems with the electronics in the past. The rig has run 68137 km and the last full service was about 6 months ago. Your explanation sounds plausible, after all a faulty cable connection could explain the symptoms. I'll take this up with my garage. Thanks to you!

(Translated from German)

Hello again, no problem, glad to help. Yes, checking the cable connections is a good first step. Mine also had about the same mileage as yours when this problem occurred. The symptoms sound really similar. You never know with this electronic equipment; sometimes it can be something as simple as a loose or damaged wire connection. Let me know what your garage finds out, I'm keenly interested. Keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't get too expensive!

Thank you! Yes, I also hope it's nothing expensive or serious. I'll take your tips into consideration and then see what the garage says. I really appreciate your help and will keep you posted! Thanks again and have a great day!
